Day 231/365

     Yesterday/day 231 was filled with election preparations pretty much everywhere, but especially where I work. The only early voting that's an option in Michigan is via absentee ballot, so the different polling locations really have to prepare for a mass of people coming out on Election Day. I think it goes without saying that most, if not all, of us, whether in the media industry or not, are extremely ready to end the election fatigue and move on. With that being said, all of you better vote!

Day 229/365

     Yesterday/day 229 I had an impromptu freelance assignment in Ohio that I had to drive back for after football Friday night. I was hired by the SEIU, (Service Employees International Union), for the day to photograph their members and volunteers making one last canvassing push for President Obama this weekend. I got paired up with a really interesting group of people; they were a lot of fun to work with. I also met some more "interesting" people at the residents the volunteers were knocking on, (interesting is in quotations since I'm using that term extremely broadly). All in all it was a unique experience.
